Harlow

Chapter 5



Jett's POV

I'm fucken pissed. Where the fuck is my sister? It's 7pm and she hasn't been home. I see a car pull into the driveway and watch as my aunt gets out of her car. Both Jax and I are out of the car quick smart walking towards my Aunt. We are both fuming. We reach the door just as my Aunt is about to close the door. "Aunt Anita, we need to talk" Jax says. "You better come in then and don't take that tone with me" Aunt Anita replies.

We all head into the kitchen and I see the box of gifts sitting on the table. "You didn't give her the stuff we brought over?" I ask my aunt. "I did. She told me to send it back just like every other year. I'll take it to the attic with all the other stuff later. What do you both want?" Aunt Anita asks. "What do you mean she wanted to send it back?" Jax asks. Aunt Anita sighs loudly. "Ok I'm guessing it's about time you hear this. Take a seat boys" Aunt Anita said.

Aunt Anita grabbed a beer out of the fridge offering us both one but we declined. We need clear heads to find our sister after we speak to our Aunt. "Right well I'll just come right out and say it. For the first two years Harlow cried herself to sleep every night begging to be sent back home. She was a mess and missed you all. She struggled a lot, I was hardly around either, I have my work and I never wanted children. Don't get me wrong I love you all but I never wanted to be a mother. After those two years something changed. Harlow changed, she no longer cried herself to sleep every day. She started to rebel a lot. She smashed her phone that your father sent and refused to take anymore calls. All the letters that were sent were torn up without her reading them. Then she started telling me to send the stuff back to you because she wanted nothing to do with any of you. I spoke with your father and he just said she was going through normal teenage stuff so I didn't push. As it went on it got worse so everything you sent I would put in the attic. When your father called asking me to send Harlow home she point blank refused saying she no longer had a family. She threatened to leave if I forced her to go back so I told your father she wanted to stay for a little longer. He kept ringing and inviting her back so eventually I just stopped answering his calls because I couldn't keep making excuses. Harlow is doing fine here, she doesn't get into trouble with the law and her grades at school are fine. We both do our own thing and she is settled" Aunt Anita said.

"You mean that she has no idea we have been contacting her all this time?" I ask. Aunt Anita just nods her head.Fuck. Our sister thinks we abandoned her because she won't even open anything we have been sending her in years. She doesn't even have the same number anymore but we text her all the time and have done for years. Our father still pays the bills and upgrades her phone every year.

"Where is her phone?" I ask my aunt. "She has her phone. The phone your father brought is in the attic with the rest of the stuff, her SIM card is in the other room" Aunt Anita says. "Where is she now?" Jax asks. "With her friends" Aunt Anita replies sipping her beer. "When will she be home?" I ask. "She probably won't be tonight" Aunt Anita replies.

I take out my phone and call dad. "Dad we have a problem" I say as soon as he answers. "What's going on? Have you found Harlow yet?" He replies. "Dad you better sit down" I start. "Listen here Jett just tell me what the fuck is going on" he yells. I can hear he is at the club and when he yells it goes quiet. I relay to my father everything that Aunt Anita said letting him know that for the last 4 years Harlow had no idea we had been communicating with her and had refused to read any letters and the stuff we sent her was all in the attic cause she didn't want it.

"I'm on my way" my father replies before hanging up the phone. "He is on his way. We better find Harlow quick smart" I tell Jax. We go to leave before Aunt Anita calls out "find Toby and you find Harlow, those two have been joined at the hip since she got here. He lives just down the road", with that we head out to find our baby sister.

Harlow's POV

It's getting late and Callum's mum will be home at about 10 when she finishes work. We have been drinking most of the night. Toby had taken the dressing off my tattoo and helped put some of the cream on. Zara and Jezz asked if it hurt but it honestly didn't and I'm so happy I did it. I love my tattoo. I just wish I never ran into my brothers but that's a problem for another day. They won't kill my birthday buzz.

Haha oops, I think I might of drank to much. "Harl's we have to walk to my place, ain't no way I can drive now" Toby calls out. I just nod my head. We have done this before and it doesn't bother me. "One more drink though?" I ask Toby who shakes his head no. "One for the road though" I smile at him and attempt puppy eyes on him. I'm way to drunk for trying that shit so I just laugh and Toby soon joins in. Jezz and Zara took off earlier cause there parents wanted them home before 9pm.

I said my goodbyes to Callum who was a lot more sober than me and cleaning the bottles up before his mum got home. Toby and I headed out me holding a bottle of beer for the walk to Toby's place. "I love you Tobs" I say to him. "I love you too Harl's more than you know" he replies.

We continue to walk and were a few houses away from Toby's place. I knew I had to skull my drink so I stopped pulling Toby back. "Got to finish my beer Tobs" I said before going to skull my drink. I look at Toby who is looking at something like he saw a ghost. I couldn't help my drunk arse and start laughing at him "Tobs what's got your knickers in a twist?" I laugh out "oh twisted knickers" I say quiet loudly while still laughing at myself. "Come on Tobs that was funny" I say hitting him in the arm. I just shrug when he doesn't respond and again go to skull my beer before someone grabs it from me "hey that's mine, give it back" I yell without looking who took my beer. I even stomped my foot on the ground. I wanted that beer and took it fair and square before I turn to see who took my beer.

I turn around and see Hendrix. Oh shit, I turn back around and face Toby. "Tobs how much did I drink? I think I had a little bit much tonight cause I'm seeing things. How much did I fucken drink?" I say to Toby rather loudly. Just then more people who look like my brothers come towards me. "Tobs did I take anything? I think I need to lay down before I pass out" I say. "Harl's you aren't seeing things. I think we are in deep shit" Toby replies quietly. "Run" I scream before trying to leg it out of there.
